Every generation is defined by its own set of wedding trends. Remember\u00a0the 80s version of the photo booth? A photographer would take a photo\u00a0of you earlier during the wedding day, then during the reception\u00a0you\u2019ll look for your own photo and it\u2019s superimposed inside a wine\u00a0glass? Laugh all you want but that was an \u201cinnovate photo effect\u201d back\u00a0then\u2014and it was all the rage.<\/p>\n
How about those fancy schmanzy figurines as giveways in the 90s? You\u00a0were probably considered thrifty if you didn\u2019t have one of those swans\u00a0intertwined as hearts on your wedding day. Or that time when placing\u00a0disposable Kodak cameras on every reception table was just the coolest\u00a0idea in the early 2000s. Wedding trends and forecasts are aplenty and\u00a0they change every year. In this column we will look at how each trend\u00a0influences the entire look of a wedding and how you can incorporate it\u00a0in your own wedding style.
\nBut first let\u2019s define what type of bride you are, because this\u00a0influences your inevitable decision to use a trend.<\/p>\n
It used to be that there were two kinds of brides. The first one is\u00a0the bride who refuses to follow any kind of trend, believing that if\u00a0she would as much as put highlights on her hair, everything will just\u00a0look outdated 20, 30, years down the line. The ironic part about it is\u00a0that these brides end up having outdated photos, anyway. So, maybe they
\nshould have just loosened up a bit and did what they wanted to do in\u00a0the first place.<\/p>\n
The second bride is the bride who doesn\u2019t mind incorporating some\u00a0wedding trends on her wedding because it\u2019s simply fun and wants to be\u00a0\u201cin.\u201d However, these brides end up overdoing it, to the point of\u00a0making their wedding a chopsuey.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a new breed of brides\u2014the third kind of bride defined by\u00a0the new generation of women who makes a trend work for HER, to define\u00a0HER and HER GROOM based on their own personalities. This bride will\u00a0examine a trend from every angle and if it works to her advantage,\u00a0she\u2019ll pin it on her pinterest board. However if the trend doesn\u2019t\u00a0speak to her from a personal level, she\u2019ll dismiss it. These brides\u00a0are the most fun to work with because they are confident in their own\u00a0skin. It\u2019s fun to experiment with this bolder bride because they are\u00a0open-minded to collaborate on new ideas, and maybe even create their\u00a0own trends in the process.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be adding trend ideas in this column based on the bolder bride\u2019s\u00a0psyche: How she reviews a trend and how she\u2019ll make it work by making\u00a0her own twists and unique spins on it.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with Trend #1.<\/p>\n
Trend #1: Headpieces<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n When \u201cCelebrity Royalty\u201d Marian Rivera got married late last year, she\u00a0donned a crown that was just as extravagant as her Michael Cinco gown.\u00a0Cinco shares that Marian\u2019s tiara was inspired by the crown jewels worn\u00a0by the royals, adorned with real gemstones fit for a queen indeed.\u00a0Marian didn\u2019t wear that crown to become a wedding trendsetter\u2014but she\u00a0created a new trend in the process anyway. Today, more and more brides\u00a0create headpieces that are just as bespoke as their gowns. But why\u00a0just follow this trend if you can make it your own?<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a rundown of other ways you can make the headpieces work for you:<\/p>\n If you are covering your face with the veil, ditch the gigantic floral\u00a0wreath unless you’re pretty as Bianca Gonzales (just kidding) and\u00a0deck your hair with flowers in the most natural way as possible. You\u00a0can wear 1 big flower, 3 small pieces or you can also use it as your\u00a0something blue. the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n Wear a custom-made headband that matches or complements your gown.<\/p>\n Forget the brooch, use lace or embroidery that compliments your gown\u00a0or just simply showing of your personality.<\/p>\n No matter how, bold, big, extravagant it will be, if it’s properly\u00a0placed it will compliment your facial structure, your total look and\u00a0even your theme.<\/p>\n Makeup: Madge Lejano<\/a><\/em> Madge has this eye for style.
